I have a customer that just bought his 2004 Tundra from the dealership, and it has the in-dash already installed. It has the password displayed right now. Does anyone know the password bypass procedure/code? I have got several conflicting responses from local installers, and thought you guys could help.

Paidnfull,

Thanks for the info but how do get the unit out of standby mode. None of the buttons are responsive both on the head unit and the remote. Is there another sequence to follow during standby mode? Please advise.
